if the court overturns the individual mandate or the whole thing, you'll see president obama running on the need for better supreme court justices, not health care. and you'll see governor romney in the position of having to advocate for an alternative to the affordable care act if he's elected. >> yeah. i want to ask bob about that. how, how important is it that we hear from the candidates how they would constrain health care costs with or without the affordable care act in terms of our long-term deficit problems? >> well, there's no question when you look at spending, you get the big health care programs, particularly medicare but also medicaid and other government health care programs, that's really the long-term cost driver. you know, social security is a modest increase, you know, over the next 20 years or so. but it really is controlling health care costs. and so it's important. it's difficult for the candidates to respond until they know what the supreme court has to say because, you know, setting out a lot of hypotheticals and alternatives would be rather confusing to people.
